| from the time of GALE. Some of the bills which
only amount to dollar or two have about $40
| costs attached to them.
DIR. Hebb's counsel, M. W. Offutt, Esq, ex-
planned that the proceedings in the cases were all
in accordance with law, and if the law was defec-
tive it was not their fault. The costs were the
same en- bill of one dollar or two as on thous-
and dollars or more. There were a number of
small bills that he had not forced sale for pay
ment.
Mr.. Crout said he was not complaining about
the people who sold the property, but Of the law.
He did not propose to do anything until the matter
was looked into by counsel OF the Board. 1t was
explained that of the costs $3.50 incurred in
making the survey and the levy, and the balance
was incurred afterwards for advertising, ST. report
Of sale, $40, court costs, $3.50, DC.
The matter went over until Wednesday, when
Mr.. w. Frank Mitchell, one of the counsel to the
Board to whom it was referred, said: "Whether
or not the law authorizing and regulating such
sales has been gratifed in these instances so that
the court will be justified in ratifying and confirm
ing them, and the county will take good title to
the several parcels of land sold, questions
which, in the nature of things, cannot be deter
mined until a thorough examination is made, and
this could not possibly accomplish within tx enty-
four hours. advise that the matter be postponed
until the Circuit Court has ratified and confirmed
these Sales"
As this was the last meeting day of the old Board
